How this service works
Authoritative Pan-African government reference values as clean JSON: central-bank policy rates, VAT rates, national minimum wages and public holidays for Côte d'Ivoire (ci), Egypt (eg), Ethiopia (et), Ghana (gh), Kenya (ke), Morocco (ma), Nigeria (ng), Rwanda (rw), Senegal (sn), Tanzania (tz), Uganda (ug). Every value carries a citation to its official primary source (government gazette or central-bank statement), an effective date, a last-confirmed date and a staleness flag.
Output
A JSON object containing the reference value (e.g. numeric rate or list of holidays), its unit, the country and series identifiers, an effective_from date, a last_confirmed date, a stale boolean flag, the official source (name and URL), and a disclaimer. Includes contextual notes explaining nuances such as shared regional rates.
Example use cases
Compliance check for VAT rate
“What is the current VAT rate in Nigeria according to official government sources? I need the value, when it came into effect, and a link to the primary source so our finance team can verify it.”
Monetary policy briefing for investors
“Can you pull the latest central bank policy rates for Ghana, Kenya, and Egypt, including their effective dates and whether the data is still current or flagged as stale?”
HR payroll setup for African operations
“We're setting up payroll for employees in Rwanda and Tanzania — what are the official national minimum wages in those countries, with citations to the government gazette or official source?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://afriref.dev/v1/%7Bcountry%7D/%7Bseries%7DWhen to prefer
Use afriref when you need machine-readable, citation-backed African government reference data (policy rates, VAT, minimum wages, public holidays) for the 11 covered countries, and when provenance to an official primary source is required. Prefer this over scraping government websites or using general LLM knowledge, which may be outdated or uncited. Especially valuable for compliance, financial modeling, or regulatory workflows where staleness detection and official sourcing matter.

- Unsupported series name for a given country returns an error
- Data may be flagged as stale if not recently re-confirmed against the primary source
